Preface
We all want to be healthy. A lot of people invest a lot of time and money in their health, ranging from buying and reading books about the subject up to expensive diets, food supplements and fitness subscriptions. But even when you do your best, it is still hard to find out what to do exactly to improve your health or to deal with chronic diseases, pain, symptoms of depression or overweight.
Health is a popular theme. This is why a lot of ink is devoted to it. Every week, you read several pieces about it in the media. They often contradict one another. What helps prevent cancer one week, turns out to be at the cradle of this awful disease the next week. It is hard to see the forest for the trees.This is because it is not a simple black and white story. Our body is a complex machine with countless parts that together determine how we feel and function as a human being. To make it even harder: not everyone is the same. Because of this reason, one person might experience certain side effects from medicines, whereas others might not. And of course, a lot of information about health is not entirely objective, as it is being directed by the food or the pharmaceutical industry. And obviously, every producer will claim that their products are healthy.
Because I suffered my fair share of problems with my health and wanted to help others, I started conducting research into the topic. I read books, magazines and studies and I asked doctors and other specialists for advice. I published earlier discoveries in my book Stress Reset, in which I put forward a simple yet efficient way to deal with traumas and let go of stress.
In this book, I will go one step further. I read hundreds of recently published scientific researches and studied topics such as healthy intestines, chronic inflammations and vitamins, to be able to formulate a number of recommendations that can help improve your general health and counter certain specific complaints.
It is all about applying a number of very easy methods, which you should try for at least a month to feel the difference. When suggesting these, I always have your general health in mind. It is not about countering acute symptoms. I am more interested in a durable long-term solution with which you deal with the underlying causes.
There are no wonder drugs out there which guarantee you will never become ill again, so I would not dare promise you anything like that. In the end, every human being is unique and you have to discover what works best for you by experimenting. But with the recommendations from Healthier in 3 Steps, you have a proper guidebook in your hand to finally deal with the health problems that gnaw at the quality of your life. Simple, achievable and efficient, without having to overthrow your current lifestyle.
To your health!

War in your stomach
The importance of a healthy gut flora
1.1 The good and the bad army
Unless you spent the last ten years on a different planet, you have undoubtedly heard or read the term ‘healthy gut flora’ dozens of times. In a magazine, at the doctor’s or in a yoghurt commercial. It is one of those typical concepts which everyone talks a lot about, even though very few people really seem to know why. Moreover, quite some faulty or oversimplified information circulates, which leads to confusion. What should you or should you not eat? What are probiotics? Can you restore your gut flora by eating yoghurt from a certain brand? You read so much that you cannot see the forest for the trees anymore and every health or diet guru seems to have their own opinion about the matter.
Because I personally experienced how big the influence of your gut flora is on your wellbeing, I delved into what exactly occurs in one’s stomach and how we can influence these processes. Surprisingly, I discovered that my gut flora is at the base of the peaks of the chronic fatigue that I experience often. With some easy adjustments, I have learned how to turn the tide. I have not had a relapse in almost a year, I feel more energetic and I no longer suffer from stomach cramps or a bloated feeling after eating. In this chapter, I hope to bring you on the path to healthier guts and more joy in life.
But let us begin at the beginning. An average adult has more than 8 metres of intestines. They are incredibly important - not just to digest food, but also for your health in general. This is proved time and again by research. An unhealthy gut flora is at the base of a lot of health problems, leads to chronic inflammation and may cause your body to be unable to take in (enough) essential nutrients. You can suffer from an unhealthy gut flora for years without even realising it, partly because it often manifests in unsuspected places or ways, such as continuous fatigue or a continuous rash.
Your gut bacteria possess their own DNA. This determines - together with your own human DNA - how your body functions. Recent research has shown that the DNA of your gut flora even determines whether or not chemotherapy works.
There is an entire world living in your stomach. You have more bacteria than you have cells in your body. Together, the microorganisms in your body weigh about 1.5 kilograms. The main part of these microscopically small organisms live in your intestines. When hearing the word ‘bacteria’ or ‘microbes’, most people spontaneously suffer from a case of palpitation. However, this is not necessary at all. No less than 80% of your gut flora consists of good bacteria, as opposed to only 20% bad organisms. These good microbes help you digest food, produce vitamin K and support your immune system. About 80% of the cells of your immune system can be found in your intestines. The microorganisms in your intestinal wall protect your intestines by keeping intruders out and by killing viruses and bad microbes. They help your immune system in distinguishing innocents substances from pathogens and by taking appropriate countermeasures.
I sometimes compare our gut with a battlefield upon which an eternal battle is fought. On the one side you have the good army, which consists mainly of good bacteria. On the other side you can find the hostile troops, also known as the bad bacteria. With your eating habits and lifestyle, you continuously feed both sides, without even realising it. The trick is to give the good army more firepower than the bad one. As long as the 80-20 balance is kept and the bad microbes do not get the
